Author's Note:

Wow! This was a long ride (that I enjoyed). But, it's time to conclude the story. Don't worry when I have time I will try to updated. Yet, it will hot happened that often. The only reason I don't want to finalize this, is because (maybe) there will be one more movie out. Not DTC. That's why I don't want to rush the fanfic. Thank you for staying with me and reading it. I surely need to edit this, and the rest. And when I have time I surely will!

Disclaimers: I don't own any of the characters, places, names, etc (only the OCs -e.g. Kasumi ). It all belongs to Sigeaki Kubo & LDH project


~ Act Thirty-Four: SWORD UNITED ~


"Is Cobra here yet?" Kasumi asked as she walked into Itokan Diner. Days had passed and she was feeling better after Nikaido stabbed her. She was taking now things easier since she had managed to pay her tuition fees. Also, Cobra had scolded her for going after Nikaido.

Naomi shook her head "No, he was suppose to get Yamato and Noboru and they would be here shortly!" She looked at the time "That was like a few hours ago!"

"You call that shortly!" Kasumi complained and as she leaped and sat against the counter. She noted Nikka behind the counter and waved at her. Yet, Nikka did not pay attention. "What's the matter with her?"

"Tettsu followed Dan and Chiharu for that trip, and she is worried!" Naomi explained at her.

Kasumi giggled "Oh! That's why the sad face. Poor Nikka!"

Suddenly, the door opened and the guys finally walked inside the diner. They sat all around groaning and complaining. They looked weary and wounded. "Woman, get me some bandages" Yamato yelled at Naomi.

"Baka! Did you fight again!" Naomi yelled at him as she was looking for the first aid Kid.

Kasumi rushed over to Cobra and glared at him "Really you fought again!" as she poked his bruises around his cheek.

Cobra smirked at her "Ittai! (Ouch!) Only a little. We are fine you don't have to worry!" he said and wrapped his arms around her.

Kasumi pushed him away and looked at him annoyed "I was not worried?" she told him and crossed her arms against her chest.

"You were not worried?" Cobra questioned in confusion "Then why are you mad at me?"

"Because you did not include me. I told you many times. If you are going to fight. You should let me know! You cannot have all the fun alone!" she explained and poked him again.

The guys opened their eyes and almost fall from their chairs. Truth was, Kasumi responses were never normal. She was always supporting Cobra and following him in most of his madness. Of course Cobra as well as the rest had mature now. They would not fight as they used too. They knew what it meant to be in conflict. Yet,they were still boys and they would do foolish fights here and there. Cobra was mostly not agreeing, yet they found support from Kasumi.

"Oi! You know if you keep acting like that I will think that you turned to a Yankee. Even if you wear dresses!" Cobra teased her.

"Oh! The Baka-leader and his Yankee Girlfriend. I like the title!" he mocked him and stuck her tongue out.

Cobra ran after her and managed to corner her and picked her up. Kasumi struggled tapping his shoulder to get free. "You are in trouble now!" he announced and started tickling her.

"Get a room you two!" Rocky stated as he showed up suddenly. The SWORD had been in very good terms after the pact. They would show up and hang out when ever they could. Specially, Rocky. He never forgot how Cobra stood up for him when he needed help. Neither he or Cobra ever admitted it, but they were friends.

Kasumi waved at him asking for help "Rocky!" she shouted as she was laughing from all the tickling. "Make him stop!"

Rocky ignored them and went and sat with Yamato. "I don't know you Baka!" he told her.

"There is no way to get away!" Cobra said as he went on teasing her "Plus the leader of SWORD would back up another leader." he utter with pride and glory.

Kasumi span around him and escape "Here we go again!" she protested.

"Of all SWORD Leader his is the biggest!" Hyuga spoke as he walked inside "I mean his ego is!"

"I know right! I am not sure were the Baka-Leader finds all that pride from!" she mocked him and stepped away from him.

"I am sure his girl is feeding his ego!" Murayama added as he was spotted with Oshiage.

Kasumi pointed at him "Yoshiki, you are the last to talk. Stop napping with my boyfriend!"

"It's not my fault. It's the best nap ever!" Murayama defended himself.

"Then you two should date. And Oshiage and me will go and find new men. You know there are many available!" Kasumi teased them and Oshiage nodded.

Murayama went over and hugged Cobra "We would not mind that, right Cobra-chan. We would make a cute couple!"

"Speak for yourself!" uttered Cobra and pushed him away as everyone was laughing.

"If Kasumi is single again! I freely would date her!" P said as he had also arrived with Takeshi.

"I know right Nii-chan!" she said and wrapped her arms around P.

"Hey! Keep your hands off my woman!" Cobra demanded and went over claiming Kasumi "She is mine. Find your own!"

Kasumi followed Cobra and sat next to him chuckling "It will take a long time for P to find the right girl!" she said. "I don't know I think Rude Boys are too serious when it comes to love."

Masaki nodded as he also stepped inside. "Right! Women should not be avoided!" he said.

"You are one to talk Masaki. When you see a woman you drop dead!" Kohaku mocked him as he was sitting far away with Tsukumo.

"Hey! We know how to date. At least Lala!" Takeshi said proudly.

"They went on a date! Finally!" Kasumi cheered.

"Who? Lala and?" most asked confused. They have not spotted Lala to like anyone. Yet they were wrong.

"Hello! With me, who else!" said Hiroto as he showed up with Lala.

Masaki looked at his brother sad "How can Hiroto have a girl and I do not?" he complained.

"Because aniki(Brother), I am way cooler than you!" he answered him. And Lala shook her head.

Days like those were really rare. But once in a while Kasumi would call everyone and demand for them to show up in Itokan Diner or Bar Odake. She claimed that they needed to support the small business. It was true, but the real reason was she wanted to see everyone together once in a while. Things would not always be like that. New foes would raise soon. Life was getting on and everyone had more responsibilities. They should enjoy their youth and share time with their friends.

As for Cobra and Kasumi, they relationship was steady now. After they had finally admitted their feelings and fought with their demons. They loved and care for each other in serious and deep way. It was not only love. They were first friends, team members and they supported each other. Of course they loved each other and they were allured to each other in the most hot ways. But what connected them was more than that.
